@harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org Being "too old" to be in a relationship with someone means that the age gap is too big. And that is really something to be aware of. It plays into the power dynamics and the older person has the obligation to reflect on that - as well as it is self protection for younger people to not date much older people. It is just one dimension of power imbalance, but an important one.

@alipercapita@linke.social I completely agree with what you're saying but in the original thread, I wasn't speaking about age gaps or relationships at all.
